" . . . the definitive history not only of the Chicago National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) but of the city's black middle class as well." —Journal of American History

" . . . a candid portrait of the Chicago branch of the NAACP, one of the association's most important chapters. . . . It also offers a revealing window onto a half-century of race relations in Chicago." —Chicago Tribune
